Pico Simón Bolívar is the second highest mountain in Colombia, with an estimated height of 5,730 metres (18,800 ft).

It is part of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta range, along with Pico Cristóbal Colón.

Pico Simón Bolívar was first climbed in 1939 by W. Wood, A. Bakerwell and E.

[3] Access to these mountains became very difficult after the early 1990s due to hostile locals, drug traffickers, and FARC guerillas.

An expedition in 2015 was one of the first to climb in the range for many years, reaching the summit of Pico Cristóbal Colón.
